Random Fashion Thoughts (Part 3: Style farmer strikes back) - our general discussion thread

Sorry I should’ve said it more clearly, I’m looking for washed denim, but thanks anyway.

I don't see too many companies that sell 18 oz washed denim. I think your best bet would be to find some used Pure Blue Japan or Iron Heart jeans.

The Gustin "Okayama Standard" is a phenomenal denim. 14.5 oz. Once they break in they are soft and heavy like you described. You could always buy a pair and wash them a bunch. Maybe sand them as well.

He probably knows ***** which translates very well against BJJ.

He doesn’t, not really. Or if he does, it was not his thing. His karate is extremely high level, but his grappling is blue belt level. He knows enough to be dangerous, but he can be controlled by a more experienced grappler. I’m a brown belt and can pass and control him, if not with ease, then at least steadily. And he has 15 lbs and a lot of muscle on me. I’ve trained with good s**bo players, and they feel different, but are clearly experienced grapplers.

I wish I knew enough to be dangerous. 😔

Hate when you find a nice looking Ralph Lauren piece on a rack but upon further inspection there is a big USA flag plastered on it

I know that feeling.

I think there's already discord on CM.

Yeah, but I mean, integrated into the forum, so that you can use single sign in, your posts will be posted to the discord, etc... and viice versa.

Honestly, it's not something that has a completely differnt feel from a forum conversation, and I feel like it's impoosible to find anything, and the last I knew of its development, they were terrible for search engine indexing. That said, they do go superfast. I do feel like the speed, in a community of any size though, can become a detriment.

That said, maybe I can set up individual nodes for quick questions. It's not good for long form discussion, but for quick questions, and for people in the 18-30 age range, it's pretty popular.

Dunno how people wear those without looking like they soiled their pants the first time they sit down.

You wash them after every wearing and there's always a bit of dust but nothing dramatic until you finally need to throw them away because they finally got an unwashable stain. Buy 2-3 pairs and you'll be fine for a while.

I think he was just making his 4 millionth “CM sucks” joke.

 

[troika]

Yeah but CM sucks

 

[mak1277]

Yeah but CM sucks

Being true doesn’t make his jokes funny or new

I don't see too many companies that sell 18 oz washed denim.

RRL is like the only company I’ve seen that offers heavyish16oz denim with the pre distressed look (combs, whiskers). Orslow and 3Sixteen have some nice faded washes but no whiskers & combs (also 13-14oz).
I’ve never worn anything heavier than 16oz. There were some RRL washes that look great but I’ve been wearing the same 3Sixteen’s for the last 4-5 years.

Still sounds stressful. I'll stick with black, indigo, and black indigo.

Excuse me if this has been discussed recently, but can anybody recommend a proxy service for buying from South Korean webshops? The shop I am looking at does not offer the "PayPal solution" as some do.
